Vehicular networking Different types of communications: – Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) – Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) – Hybrid Different types of services: – Safety and emergency communications – Traffic monitoring and management – Information and entertainment applications Different types of access technologies – p/WAVE –3G/4G/LTE –WiFi… 3

Vehicular networking Unique characteristics: – Restricted Mobility – Availability of location information – No strict energy consumption constraints – Mixed types of communications: infrastructure-based, mobile hot-spots, and ad-hoc Some research challenges – Frequent link disconnection – Highly dynamic spacial-temporal traffic conditions – Heterogeneity of data dissemination – Efficient and adaptive IP support and IP mobility – Anonymity and location privacy H.T.
